The ecoinvent team gathered in tropical Zurich heat for our quarterly team meeting. This meeting was especially unique as we were joined by a panel of passionate representatives from local partners who work directly with our data.
Let’s take a look at what’s involved in an ecoinvent team meeting.
We welcomed four partners, including Sika, Helbling, and ECOSPEED, who represent different aspects of our ecosystem. Their representatives included sustainability experts (who work directly with our data) and software developers (who integrate our data into specialized tools).
ecoinvent Account Manager Margaux Cepeda hosted the panel, where the partners shared unfiltered feedback about their experiences, challenges, and future expectations.
This direct exchange proved invaluable. Some of our teams regularly interact with our partners, but for many team members, this was a unique and valuable chance to learn in-depth from our users about real-world applications and current user requirements.
For our partners, this was an opportunity to connect directly with the experts behind the data. They shared their experiences working with us and gained insights into the interesting challenges we face in prioritizing diverse industry needs.
Following the panel, we dove into questions from the ecoinvent team, who were curious to learn more about the various ways our visiting partners interact with our life cycle inventory database.
The messages from this meeting will surely inspire us in the months to come!
The honest dialogue between data creators and data users revealed practical insights that will shape our strategy moving forward. One thing is certain—collaboration will be necessary to develop a green future.
